       3. The display device of  claim 1 , wherein the first sensing electrode and at least a portion of the first sensing wire overlap with the display region in the plan view. 
     
     
       4. The display device of  claim 1 , wherein the first sub-electrode and the first sensing wire are disposed on a same layer and are connected to each other to have an integral shape. 
     
     
       5. The display device of  claim 1 , wherein the second sub-electrode is disposed on the first sub-electrode. 
     
     
       6. The display device of  claim 1 , wherein the display panel comprises a substrate, a circuit layer disposed on the substrate, a device layer disposed on the circuit layer, and an insulation layer disposed on the device layer, and
 wherein the first sub-electrode and the first sensing wire are directly disposed on the insulation layer. 
 
     
     
       7. The display device of  claim 1 , wherein an area of the first sub-electrode is greater than an area of the second sub-electrode in the plan view. 
     
     
       8. The display device of  claim 1 , wherein the input sensing layer further comprises a second sensing electrode including:
 a third sub-electrode and a fourth sub-electrode at least partially overlapping in the plan view, and 
 a second sensing wire electrically connected to the second sensing electrode. 
 
     
     
       9. The display device of  claim 8 , an area of the third sub-electrode is smaller than an area of the fourth sub-electrode in the plan view. 
     
     
       10. The display device of  claim 8 , wherein the fourth sub-electrode overlaps with at least a portion of the first sensing wire in the plan view. 
     
     
       11. The display device of  claim 8 , wherein the second sensing electrode is spaced apart from the first sensing electrode in a first direction,
 a width of the first sub-electrode in a second direction is greater than a width of the third sub-electrode in the second direction, the second direction intersecting with the first direction, and 
 a width of the second sub-electrode in the second direction is smaller than a width of the fourth sub-electrode in the second direction. 
 
     
     
       12. The display device of  claim 11 , wherein a length of the first sensing wire in the first direction is longer than a length of the second sensing wire in the first direction. 
     
     
       13. The display device of  claim 8 , wherein at least a portion of the second sensing wire overlaps with the display region. 
     
     
       14. The display device of  claim 8 , wherein an area of the first sub-electrode is greater than an area of the third sub-electrode in the plan view, and
